What is a prenuptial agreement in Israel?

A prenuptial agreement in Israel (heskem mamon / הסכם ממון) is a legally binding agreement between spouses that defines how property, assets, and debts will be divided in the event of divorce or separation. It is governed by the Israeli Property Relations Between Spouses Law, 1973 (חוק יחסי ממון בין בני זוג). The agreement requires approval by an authorized body: a notary (for agreements signed before marriage) or a Family Court / Rabbinical Court (for agreements signed during marriage). The agreement covers property division, debts, pensions, business ownership, inheritances, and housing arrangements. A prenup is especially recommended when one partner brings significant assets into the marriage, owns a business, is entering a second marriage, or wants to benefit from purchase tax savings on real estate. Through Noberu, the entire process is digital: a guided questionnaire, automatic partner sync, lawyer review, and a ready-to-sign PDF legal document - all for NIS 990 per couple.

How much does a prenup cost in Israel?

An online prenup through Noberu costs NIS 990 per couple - a fixed price with no hidden fees. This includes a detailed guided questionnaire, automatic partner sync, disagreement detection with mediation tools, review and approval by a licensed attorney, and a ready-to-sign PDF legal document. Through a traditional law firm, prenup drafting costs NIS 4,000-15,000 depending on complexity, attorney rates, and hours worked. On top of that, notary certification costs approximately NIS 420-500. However, it's important to note that a prenup with property separation can save tens or even hundreds of thousands of shekels in purchase tax - making the investment pay for itself many times over. With Noberu, payment is only required when you're ready to generate the agreement, after completing the questionnaire. Filling out the questionnaire itself is completely free.

What's the difference between a prenup and a divorce agreement?

A prenup is signed before or during marriage and defines property division in advance. A divorce agreement is signed as part of the divorce process itself and deals with the actual division.

When should I create a prenup?

The ideal time is before the wedding - notary approval is sufficient and the process is simple. You can also create one during marriage, but it requires Family Court approval.

How does a prenup save on purchase tax?

A prenup with a property separation clause allows the spouse who does not own an apartment to purchase real estate as a "sole apartment" buyer and pay reduced purchase tax rates: 0% on the first NIS 1,978,745, 3.5% up to NIS 2,347,040, and 5% up to NIS 6,055,070. Without a prenup, the Israeli Tax Authority treats both spouses as a single "family unit" - meaning if one spouse owns property, the new purchase is classified as an "additional apartment" and taxed at 8% from the first shekel, up to 10% on higher portions. In practice, on an apartment worth NIS 2.5 million, the difference can reach NIS 180,000 or more. The Israeli Supreme Court ruling (Civil Appeal 3178/12) confirmed that property separation in a prenup is recognized for tax purposes, provided the agreement was properly certified and the separation is actually implemented. Important: the prenup must be signed before the property purchase for the tax benefit to apply.

Is a prenup valid without a lawyer?

Legally, a prenup must be certified by an authorized body - notary, family court, or rabbinical court. Attorney guidance is strongly recommended to ensure the agreement is valid and protects both parties.

How long does the process take?

The questionnaire takes 15-30 minutes per partner. Attorney review takes 3-5 business days. Total from registration to signing - about two weeks.

Can you get a prenup after marriage in Israel?

Yes. The Property Relations Law allows creating an agreement at any stage - before, during, or after marriage. The difference: before marriage requires notary approval, after marriage requires Family Court approval.

Is a prenup valid for same-sex couples?

Absolutely. The Property Relations Law applies to all couples equally. Same-sex couples are entitled to exactly the same protections and rights.

Do common-law couples need a prenup in Israel?

Especially so. Common-law couples (ידועים בציבור) don't benefit from the default protections of the Property Relations Law. Without an agreement, there's no clear rule for property division - the court decides based on circumstances.

How does a prenup protect a business in Israel?

A prenup with property separation ensures a business established before marriage remains fully owned by its founder - including growth in value. Without one, your spouse could claim half the business value accumulated during the marriage.

Can you cancel a prenup in Israel?

Yes. A prenup can be canceled or modified at any stage - as long as both parties agree and obtain fresh certification from a notary or court. Specific clauses can also be amended without voiding the entire agreement.

Does a prenup protect inheritances?

Yes. A prenup can stipulate that inheritances received or expected remain separate property. This is especially important in second marriages to protect children's inheritance from a first marriage.

Can I schedule an in-person meeting with a lawyer?

Yes. Our service is online, but if you prefer, you can add an in-person meeting with a lawyer for an additional fee. Contact us and we'll arrange it.

Is the service available nationwide in Israel?

Yes, absolutely. Noberu is a nationwide online service - from Tel Aviv to Eilat. A lawyer reviews the agreement, and we refer you to a notary in your area.

What's the difference between Noberu and other 'online' prenup services?

Most 'online' prenup services in Israel work like this: fill a form → get a PDF by email → figure out the notary yourself. Noberu is fundamentally different: both partners on one platform, automatic conflict detection, lawyer review as a managed step, digital signing in-platform, and Noberu refers you to a notary. The only physical step — 30 minutes at a notary — is a legal requirement under Israel's Property Relations Law (1973) that cannot be bypassed by any service.

Is there any way to do a prenup without a notary in Israel?

No. Israel's Property Relations Between Spouses Law (1973) mandates formal certification: a notary (before marriage) or Family Court (after marriage). There is no legal way to bypass this. With Noberu, the notary step takes just 30 minutes — and Noberu will refer you to a certified notary near you.
